thanks for that detailed response. I think you mean by "unclip it", turn off crop regions and scope boxes, turn on survey and base point and move them up to the house. But you can't move the base point without all the levels moving as well & the house moving relative to it. Unless I crush down the house down to elevation zero, no can do, right? Plus it will mess up all the detailing (drafting lines, detail elements) drawn up at elev 600'.
But I don't love doing it as the survey point is used to co-ordinate with civil eng. drawings. I guess i could backwards engineer that too. Would be better if lumion could adjust itself to match revit base point. Oh well, works for now. Thanks!
I suggest you not touch your project base point just because you want to lower your model in Lumion.
You can simply select the imported model in Lumion and type in the elevation.
I am working with rhino / lumion. In order to change thematerials of objects in Lumion each object with a different material needs to have a different material in Rhino. It is not possible to select an object in Lumion
I am now spending hours sometimes to just create randomly colored materials for all objects ( layers ) in rhino. Very boring work.
I use Lumion 8 for renderings nowadays but there is a little problem which is really annoying. In order to change materials in Lumion first we have to decide which objects have same material and then we can change all with one click. But the wall sides(thickness) or such as window or door holes(not their own frames) always come as default material and when i change it all of them changes. I dont know where i can find this settings clearly its not related with cut parts of objects. What should i do know?
I want to ask how do I always change such windows or door holes as their default material and when I change it all of them. (can I break them in the lumion?). I dont know where i can find these settings clearly its not related to cut parts of objects. What should i know?
I'm not entirely sure how to change the default 'cut material' for openings. I typically set up my scene as best as I can with materials, then I'll paint (PT) everything I need to change after I export it.
If you have the Lumion Revit Live Link plugin it makes life a whole lot easier, then you can see what needs to be painted. I have no idea if this is an ideal workflow, but it's what I do and it seems to work fine.
You can also set the default wall material in Object Style so any wall with By Category (including unwrapped sides) will use that material instead of Default Material. You can also set Default Material for other categories so when it goes to Lumion, different category will have different material.
Use Paint. It is also important to note that Lumion only recognize Revit materials appearance, not graphics. So when you duplicate a material in revit, make sure to duplicate its appearance asset or assign a new asset.
I've rendered the following videos at 3 star quality on lumion, HD. The final walkthrough animations however come out with a lot of grain, or some sort of fuzziness especially for interior shots. What can I do to tackle this? Links to the two videos are pasted below:
Yeah, the trade off is always noise for time. The less noise you want, the more time it will take the render. Some off the issues look like you are using too strong of a sharpening filter, especially on the couch shots in the 2nd animation.
I would recommend to just render at max quality and output a larger image to give better pixel size to render. For instance if your final output is HD then render 1440 or 4K then reduce the size in post to HD. I am not a fan of any sharpening filter in any software really.
jrohrer A big difference between Enscape vs. Lumion you will find, if you look, which kind of reflection are available. Lumion supports three kind of reflections. If I understand right, Enscape supports something like the speedray reflections of Lumion only. It' good to know that this is a hard limit without workaround per planar/cube reflections. Also, not all objects of a scene are shown at the reflections. Doe's Lumion reduce the objects at reflections too?
The reflection difference is more a question of usability philosophy: We do not want to bother users with the choice of which reflection algorithm to choose per surface. It is "everything should look as good a possible by default" vs "By default, it looks like a cartoon but you can tune it with a bunch of options".
Intefgrated with SKP, faster to render your scene. Easy material editor. Lumion has the animated objects that are easy to place. Render times are high once you start to add all the effects needed to make it look good. For my money, I would use Enscape over Lumion. I hate having to go into a seperate app to do something and have to deal with import export issues. That's why my main tools are 3ds MAX and vray. When I need to generate quick animations I use Enscape.
As long as the final client don't ask why something looks totally wrong it can be a question of philosophy. At the moment we have the "looks like cartoon" effect for reflections in some situations without a workaround. In this situation the advanced user should be able dive in advanced options and enable special reflection mapping types. So, the result could be nearly perfect looking without to bother the not advanced user. My hope is, if the needed quality can't be reached by additional reflection types, that the mysterious RTX will help in the future.
I never used Lumion in school as I wasn't a fan of the overall output aesthetic. I had the VRay plug in which was fine then, and is what I use now, but I don't like the time I spend in post-render photoshopping the image.
I worked in Lumion some at an office where I interned and while I appreciate that the placement of entourage and control of environment was user friendly and kept our Revit Models less cluttered with those features, it was aggravating to have to update the Revit model, save, re-link, etc. I also found the multiple reflection options to be unnecessary and agree with the "everything should look as good as possible by default", as I am now a sole practitioner and do not really have time to fiddle with settings that do not yield outcomes worth the time it takes to achieve them.
A former colleague who spent many hours working in Lumion put me onto Enscape. I'm really enjoying it and looking forward to the expanded asset library. It is also far more affordable than Lumion, and the real-time updating in the model reflected in the Enscape window are invaluable to making minor changes prior to spending the time to output an image.
My favorite feature of Enscape is the ability to quickly change the time of day in the Viewer and how well Enscape engages artificial lighting in the model. This is something that frustrated me endlessly with the native Revit rendering engines, VRay, etc. as lighting fixtures seemed to have too much you had to do to get the desired effect.
My only gripe with Enscape (and this may be because I haven't used it enough to know) is that when I set a view in Revit, it is very exact in its size and scope of the view, and I wish Enscape would automatically detect the pixel width and height of the image rather than trying to assign a ratio in the Enscape Settings.
If time is of little concern to you, you might find expanded settings in Lumion or other rendering engines helpful, but time is a serious factor for me and I either don't care for or cannot afford 3rd party visualization services as of now. I'm pleased with the program and glad I did not go with Lumion.
I got my lumion license a couple weeks ago. ( ialso use Vray/corona with max) Enscape is realtime and Lumion use GPU to render....It could take from few seconds to few minutes to render one image... The asset library is over 5000 objects but to me the only ones with decent quality are vegetation/people/animals....Furniture are not very good...Lumion is expensive but I still like it.
To me the value of Enscape is during schematic design/design development to visualize my design in realtime and see it thru those vr-Glasses .....good tool to sell your project and chat with clients in front of the computer.
In terms of the nature of the rendering engine LUMION is baking rendering, ENSCAPE real-time ray tracing is rendering, look at the rendering quality is better than LUMION ENSCAPE, particularly in the close shot of industrial products, indoor and outdoor building small scene on the expression of more real, and the advantage of LUMION first is his contains a large number of after finishing effect good plant material, such as the big rich can quickly outdoor scene. Simply put, the farther away LUMION is, the better, and the closer ENSCAPE is
As an old, experienced architecture modeller, designer and renderer - I believe that description "semi-automatic" for ENSCAPE 3D stands completely! and you render in your native "weapon"/program, as a plugin contribution... Using 10+ different renderers in the past - I found that certain simplification of Enscape Team is very fast and smooth, without quality compensation. it makes production of "final rendering" time FEW TIMES faster than other tools, enabling you to fill the model/scene with additional assets/detail as a contribution to "immediate viewer impression task"...
My vote(s) go for Enscape rather than Lumion!!!
